Wander through Melbourne’s famed laneways and embrace the urban soul of the city. From fashion to food, the laneways are home to emerging and well-known local craftsmen and artisans. Soak up the atmosphere created by the café scene, smell the aroma of coffee and spices, and see a variety of urban visual art projects dotted around the lanes.
Boasting an international event calendar that most cities would envy, Melbourne is home to a sporting fever that grips the city. See where battles have been won and lost on the field at the Melbourne Cricket Ground or on the tennis court at Rod Laver Arena. Hear the stories of the infamous Melbourne Cup, during which an entire nation stops to watch a horse race.
The walking tour is approximately 2.5-miles (4-kilometers) long and is at a leisurely pace. You’ll discover hidden gems and explore the city like a local.

Our tour guide was so patient and entertaining! He explained thoroughly of the history that is behind the buildings and streets to us. It was a great tour! Plus the free hot chocolate, coffee, or tea at the best cafe always helps! =)

The guy who we walked with - sadly I forget his name - he was just great! Despite bad weather he was upbeat, full of info and more than willing to answer my 1001 miscellaneous Melbourne questions :)
Highly recommended, you will see things you didn't imagine!
